 +

 +
 +
Fans have been using the official site to post details of secret locations being used to film the hit series.
 +
 +
And weirdos were using the information to track Billie and David's every move.
 +
 +
Now bungling Beeb bosses have been forced to censor their own website.

Beeb bungle puts Who babe at risk
 +
 +
 +
DR WHO star Billie Piper is facing a stalker nightmare,
 +
thanks to blundering BBC bosses.
 +
 +
The sexy actress has been put at risk from freaky fans who have been following her every move.
 +
 +
And it's all the fault of the BBC's own website.
 +
 +
Fans have been blitzing it with sightings of Billie, 23, who plays Rose Tyler, and her co-star David Tennant, 35. And thanks to the cyber tip-offs, weirdos started arriving at secret filming locations all over south Wales.
 +
 +
Panic
 +
 +
It sparked a major security panic. And now red-faced Beeb bosses have been forced to censor their own website to stop it becoming a stalker's heaven. A Doctor Who source said: "Fans were turning up on set in Cardiff and we couldn't work out how they knew where we were.
 +
 +
"Eventually one person was quizzed about how he discovered our whereabouts and we were stunned when they told us it was on our own website.
 +
 +
"People were posting sightings of David and Billie, giving details of their locations within minutes.
 +
 +
"Most of the people were harmless — Doctor Who has some really enthusiastic and loyal fans who just wanted to see the filming. But there was a strong chance that a sick stalker could have got hold of the secret information.
 +
 +
"The cast and crew's safety — especially Billie's — could have been put at serious risk.
 +
 +
"Once it became clear that some people were acting on information on the site, it was decided to censor items.
 +
 +
"It is slightly embarrassing for so many secrets to be openly given away by our own BBC website."
 +
 +
An official notice on the site now explains that certain postings will be censored for "security reasons".
 +
 +
However, that won't stop fans from finding out where the show is being filmed.
 +
 +
One claimed: "A lot of the locations are well known and we have a strong network of people who keep everyone informed by e-mail and text."
 +
 +
A BBC spokeswoman said: "Our main concern caused by the show's success is the increasing numbers of people turning up to watch filming.
 +
 +
"We are keen to minimise disruption, so certain specific items and sightings are now removed from the website."
